Milestones
from the late 18th-century still survive in Westchester County, standing along what was known
as the Albany
Post Road. Sometimes the stones have been set into short
sections of stone wall in an otherwise open field adjoining the road; in other
locations they are now part of the longer stone walls that once marked the boundaries of
19th-century estates. Other roads branching out from the post road have mile markers as well. This page shows
some of the surviving milestones near the Hudson River in Westchester County. These
stones are located along Route 9 (usually known as Broadway, though in some
villages it takes a different name), unless otherwise noted.
